Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a 35 U.S.C. §371 filing of International Application No. PCT/GB2014/053793, filed Dec. 19, 2014, which claims priority to Great Britain Patent Application No. 1322602.2, filed Dec. 19, 2013, each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.

The present invention relates to compounds that are useful as inhibitors of the activity of Wee-1 kinase. The present invention also relates to pharmaceutical compositions comprising these compounds and to methods of using these compounds in the treatment of cancer and methods of treating cancer.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION

Cells are continually challenged on a daily basis, resulting in multiple lesions forming in DNA. The lesions, if not repaired, can lead to mutations or cell death, thus complex signalling networks exist which ensure that lesions are detected and repaired to maintain the integrity of DNA.

Detection of DNA damage initiates a series of events which are key in maintaining the genome. Cell cycle checkpoints are designed to stop the cell cycle and allow repair of the lesion before allowing the cell to continue into mitosis.

Two key checkpoints have been identified, one at the end of the G1 phase and the second at G2, working in tandem to ensure all lesions are identified and repaired. In 50% of human cancers the G1 checkpoint is non-functional due to mutations in the tumour suppressor gene p53. However, the G2 check-point is seldom mutated and often found to be activated in cancer cells. Cancer cells exploit this to confer resistance to treatment modalities, including DNA damaging agents and radiation.

Three kinases have been identified as key regulators of the G2 checkpoint, namely Chk1, Chk2 and Wee-1. Inhibitors for these kinases are currently being evaluated in clinical trials.

Wee-1 is a nuclear tyrosine kinase which negatively regulates entry into mitosis at the G2/M check-point by catalysing a phosphorylation of the cdc2/cyclin B kinase complex. The phosphorylation occurs on the tyrosine-15 residue and leads to the inactivation of the cdc2/cyclin B complex, ultimately preventing mitosis. Wee-1 function is intimately linked to that of Chk1 and Chk2 due to their phosphorylation and inactivation of cdc25 on serine-216, as well as the reported activation of Wee-1 by Chk 1 & 2 (Ashwell et al., 2012, DNA Repair in Cancer Therapy, DOI: 10.1016/B978-0-12-384999-1.10010-1).

Wee-1 is downstream of the Chk family and is a crucial component of the checkpoint signalling cascade as it prevents cells from entering mitosis if lesions are detected (Do et al., Cell Cycle 2013 12 (19) 3159-3164.

Commonly administered anti-cancer compounds induce DNA damage, including anti-metabolites, platinum agents, topoisomerase inhibitors and alkylating agents. However, their efficacy is limited due to excessive toxicity, resistance and lack of tumour selectivity. Compounds which work in combination with these agents to prevent DNA repair selectively in tumour cells would be extremely beneficial. As the tumour suppressor gene p53 is commonly mutated in tumour cell lines, the administration of a Wee-1 kinase inhibitor, abrogating the G2 check point, may lead to increased sensitivity to DNA damaging agents. The potential for this has been reported, as silencing of Wee-1 activity was sufficient to sensitize HeLa cells to doxorubicin due to abrogation of G2 arrest. By contrast, in normal breast epithelium due to the fully competent p53 protein, the removal of Wee-1 function had little additional effect compared to doxorubicin alone (Wang et al., 2004, Cancer Biology and Therapy, 3(3), 305-313).

It has been reported that cell lines harbouring mutations in the tumour suppressor gene p53 had increased sensitivity to DNA damaging agents when co-administered with Wee-1 small molecule inhibitors. Synergistic in vitro and in vivo efficacy has been reported when small molecule inhibitors were combined with gemcitabine, 5-fluorouracil, carboplatin, cisplatin (Hirai et al 2010, Cancer Biology & Therapy 9:7, 514-522), cytarabine (Tibes et al., 2012, Blood, 119(12), 2863-2872), Chk-1 inhibitors (Carrasa et al., 2012 Cell Cycle 1:11(13):2507-2517), (Russell et al., 2013 Cancer Res. 15; 73 (2) 776-784) and Src inhibitors (Cozzi et al., 2012, Cell Cycle 11(5), 1-11). Single agent apoptotic efficacy, independent of p53 status, has been reported in sarcoma cell lines and in patient derived sarcoma samples (Kreahling et al., 2012, Mol. Cancer Ther., 11(1), 174-182) and efficacy demonstrated in a panel of cancer cell lines in vivo (Guertin et al., 2013 Mol Cancer Ther, 12 (2) 141-151).

Irradiation is known to increase phosphorylation of the Tyr15 and Thr14 residues of cdc2, leading to a radioresistant phenotype. Inhibition of Wee-1 activity by small molecule inhibitors (Wang et al., 2004, Cancer Biology and Therapy 3(3), 305-313), (Caretti et al., 2013 Mol Cancer Ther. 12 (2) 141-150) lead to a reduction in phosphorylation and radiosensitization, with the effect being more pronounced in p53 mutant cell lines.

It has been reported in melanoma that over-expression of Wee-1 is correlated with poor clinical outcome (Magnusson et al., 2012 PLoS One 7; (6)e38254), indicating it may have a significant role as a biomarker and as a targeted therapy.

Lett., 2005, 15, 1931-1935 describe various compounds such as dihydropyrimidopyrimidine and pyridopyrimidinone derivatives having a kinase inhibitory effect. In particular, the compounds of WO 2005/090344 are said to show activity as protein kinase inhibitors, in particular Src family tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The compounds described in Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 2005, 15, p 1931-1935 are said to be 10-100-fold more potent inhibitors of c-Src than Wee-1, and variation of substituents on the 6-phenyl ring does not markedly alter this preference. 5-Alkyl substituted analogues are said to be generally Wee-1 selective, but at the expense of binding potency.

WO 2013/013031 describes pyridazino[4,5-d]pyrimidin-(6H)-one inhibitors of Wee-1 kinase which are said to be useful for inhibiting kinases such as Wee-1 and in methods of treating diseases such as cancer. Compounds of WO 2013/013031 have a nitrogen atom at the ‘3-position’ of the ring relative to the carbonyl group.

US 2013/0018045 describes various tricyclic-sulfonamide compounds which are useful for inhibiting kinases such as Wee-1 and methods of treating diseases such as cancer. Compounds of US 2013/0018045 have a sulfonamide group at the ‘1-position’ on the ring and the atoms at the ‘3- and ‘4-positions’ form part of a fused aryl or heteroaryl ring (“A”).

Other preferred embodiments of the compounds according to the invention appear throughout the specification and in particular in the examples. Particularly preferred are those named compounds having greater activity as tested. Compounds having higher activity are more preferred over those having lower activity.

The present inventors have surprisingly found that the compounds of the present invention, which contain an sp3 hybridised carbon atom in the carbonyl-containing fused ring, show an improved or similar kinase-inhibitory effect compared to known compounds or compositions. In particular, the compounds of the present invention preferably show an improved or similar Wee-1 kinase-inhibitory effect compared to known compounds or compositions. This is surprising because known compounds said to show high Wee-1 kinase inhibition typically comprise a planar ring system with one or more sp² hybridised carbon atoms and one or more nitrogen atoms, whereas the compounds of the present invention comprise an sp³ hybridised carbon atom in which at least one of the substituents on the sp3 carbon is projected out of plane of the ring.

The present inventors have also surprisingly found that compounds of the present invention may show an improved or comparable selectivity towards Wee-1 kinase compared to compounds of the prior art. Preferably, in particular, the compounds of the invention are selective over members of the Src family of kinases, for example LCK (Lymphocyte specific protein tyrosine kinase) and c-Src.

The present inventors have surprisingly found that compounds as described herein may have superior physicochemical properties compared with those known in the prior art. For example, kinetic solubility of examples shown below is higher than the corresponding example claimed in WO 2013/126656.

Compounds of the present invention may also have superior metabolic stability compared with those known in the prior art. For example, the intrinsic clearance from human microsomes of examples shown below is lower than that of the corresponding compounds claimed in WO 2013/126656 and WO 2013/059485.

The present inventors have also surprisingly found that the compounds of the present invention may also show reduced or comparable hERG inhibition (see examples), improved or comparable human liver microsome stability and reduced or comparable CVS toxicity compared to the kinase inhibitors of the prior art.

As discussed above, without wishing to be bound by theory it is thought that the compounds of the present invention tend to show the advantageous effects discussed above due, at least in part, to the presence of the sp³ hybridised carbon atom as shown in formula (I), that is, the carbon to which R² and R³ are attached.

##STR00003##

Further factors which result in the advantageous effects discussed above, include the structural relationship between the afore-mentioned sp³ hybridised carbon atom at the ‘3-position’, the carbonyl (C═O) group, the N—R¹ group at the ‘2-position’ and the N—R⁴ group at the ‘4-position’.

The term “amino group” refers to the —NH₂ group. The amino group can be optionally substituted (a “substituted amino”) with one or more substituents, which can be the same or different. Amino group substituents may be, but are not limited to, an alkyl, alkenyl, alkanoyl, aryl and/or a heterocyclyl group.

The term “amido group” refers to the —C(═O)—NR— group. Attachment may be through the carbon and/or nitrogen atom.

The term “iminyl” group refers to the —C(═NR)— group. Attachment may be through the carbon atom.

The group “═N—R” refers to a substituent nitrogen-R group connected to another atom by a double bond. For example, an iminyl group (—C(═NR)— group) is a nitrogen atom) connected by a double bond to carbon atom, the nitrogen atom also being connected to an R group by a single bond.

The term “alkoxy group” refers to an —O-alkyl group. The alkoxy group can refer to linear, branched, or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated oxo-hydrocarbon chains, including, for example, methoxyl, ethoxyl, propoxyl, isopropoxyl, butoxyl, t-butoxyl and pentoxyl. The alkoxy group can be optionally substituted (a “substituted alkoxy”) with one or more alkoxy group substituents.

The term “hydroxyl” refers to an —OH group.

The term “alkanoyl group” (i.e. acyl group) refers to an organic acid group wherein the —OH of the carboxyl group has been replaced with another substituent. Thus, the alkanoyl group can be represented by the formula RC(═O)—, wherein R includes but is not limited to an alkyl, aralkyl, or aryl group, which in turn may be optionally substituted by one or more substituents.

For completeness, it is also noted that certain chemical formulae used herein define delocalized systems. This definition is known in the art as a definition of aromaticity and may indicate the presence of, for example, a mono-, di- or tri-cyclic system that contains (4n+2) electrons where n is an integer. In other words, these systems may display Hückel aromaticity.

In whatever aspect, the compounds of the present invention may possess some aspect of stereochemistry. For example, the compounds may possess chiral centres and/or planes and/or axes of symmetry. As such, the compounds may be provided as single stereoisomers, single diastereomers, mixtures of stereoisomers or as racemic mixtures. Stereoisomers are known in the art to be molecules that have the same molecular formula and sequence of bonded atoms, but which differ in their spatial orientations of their atoms and/or groups.

In addition, the compounds of the present invention may possess tautomerism. Each tautomeric form is intended to fall within the scope of the invention.

In addition, the compounds of the present invention may be provided as a pro-drug. Pro-drugs are transformed, generally in vivo, from one form to the active forms of the drugs described herein. For example, a pro-drug may be formed by protecting the —N—H group to which R³ is attached with a hydrolyzable group that gives —NH on hydrolysis. Alternatively or additionally, any —NH group within the compound may be protected as a physiological hydrolyzable amide.

In addition, it will be understood that the elements described herein may be the common isotope or an isotope other than the common isotope. For example, a hydrogen atom may be ¹H, ²H (deuterium) or ³H (tritium).

In addition, the compounds of the present invention may be provided in the form of their pharmaceutically acceptable salts or as co-crystals. For example, the compounds may be provided having protonated amine groups.

The term “pharmaceutically acceptable salt” refers to ionic compounds formed by the addition of an acid to a base. The term refers to such salts that are considered in the art as being suitable for use in contact with a patient, for example in vivo and pharmaceutically acceptable salts are generally chosen for their non-toxic, non-irritant characteristics.

The term “co-crystal” refers to a multi-component molecular crystal, which may comprise non-ionic interactions.

Pharmaceutically acceptable salts and co-crystals may be prepared by ion exchange chromatography or by reacting the free base or acidic form of a compound with stoichiometric amounts or with an excess of the desired salt-forming inorganic or organic acid or base in one or more suitable solvents, or by mixing the compound with another pharmaceutically acceptable compound capable of forming a co-crystal.

Salts known in the art to be generally suitable for use in contact with a patient include salts derived from inorganic and/or organic acids, including the hydrobromide, hydrochloride, sulfate, bisulfate, nitrate, acetate, oxalate, oleate, palmitate, stearate, laurate, benzoate, lactate, phosphate, tosylate, citrate, maleate, fumarate, succinate and tartrate. These may include cations based on the alkali and alkaline earth metals, such as sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium, as well as ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium. Further reference is made to the number of literature sources that survey suitable pharmaceutically acceptable salts, for example the Handbook of pharmaceutical salts published by IUPAC.

In addition, the compounds of the present invention may sometimes exist as zwitterions, which are considered as part of the invention.

Common organic solvents that were used in reactions (e.g. THF, DMF, DCM, and methanol) were purchased anhydrous from Sigma-Aldrich® in Sure/Seal™ bottles and were handled appropriately under nitrogen. Water was deionised using an Elga PURELAB Option-Q. All other solvents used (i.e. for work-up procedures and purification) were generally HPLC grade and were used as supplied from various commercial sources. Unless otherwise stated, all starting materials used were purchased from commercial suppliers and used as supplied.

Microwave Synthesis

Unless quoted otherwise, microwave experiments were carried out using a CEM Discover™/Explorer24™ system controlled by Synergy 1.5 software. In other cases a Biotage Initiator™ Eight was used. Both machines give good reproducibility and control at temperature ranges from 60-250° C. and pressures of up to maximum of 20 bar.

Flash Chromatography

Purification of compounds by flash chromatography was achieved using a Biotage Isolera Four system. Unless otherwise stated, Biotage KP-Sil SNAP or Grace Resolv cartridge columns (10-340 g) were used along with the stated solvent system and an appropriate solvent gradient depending on compound polarity. In the case of more polar and basic compounds, Biotage KP-NH SNAP cartridge columns (11-28 g) were used.

NMR Spectroscopy

¹H NMR spectra were recorded at ambient temperature using a Bruker Avance (500 MHz) or a Bruker Avance (400 MHz) or a Bruker Avance (300 MHz) spectrometer. All chemical shifts (δ) are expressed in ppm. Residual solvent signals were used as an internal standard and the characteristic solvent peaks were corrected to the reference data outlined in J. Org. Chem., 1997, 62, p 7512-7515; in other cases, NMR solvents contained tetramethylsilane, which was used as an internal standard.

Method 1: Measurement of Wee-1 Kinase Activity

In the measurement of Wee-1 activity, a commercial peptide Poly(Lys Tyr (4:1)) hydrobromide was purchased from Sigma Aldrich and used as the substrate. Activated Wee-1 kinase was purchased from Invitrogen (PV3817) and an ADP-Glo luminescent kit was purchased from Promega.

All reactions took place in 60 μL volumes in reaction buffer containing 40 mM Tris-HCl and 20 mM magnesium chloride, supplemented with 0.1 mg/mL bovine serum albumin and 2 mM DTT. Compounds were serially diluted in buffer and 5 μL of each concentration pipetted into a white 384 well plate (Sigma Aldrich M6186). A 5 μL aliquot of the Wee-1 enzyme was added to each well and the plate centrifuged for 1 min to ensure mixing of the enzyme and inhibitor.

The plate was incubated at room temperature for 30 minutes before the addition of 2.0 μg/mL of substrate and 30 μM ATP in a 5 μL aliquot. The plate was centrifuged for one minute and incubated for 1 h at RT.

15 L of ADP-Glo stop reagent was added to each well to quench the reaction and deplete unconverted ATP. The plate was incubated for a further 40 min in the dark at RT.

30 μL of ADP-Glo kinase detection reagent was added to each well, converting ADP to ATP, catalysing the generation of luciferin by luciferase. The plate was shaken for 1 min, and incubated in the dark for an additional hour.

Luminescence from each well was detected using the Biotek Synergy4 HD plate reader and the percentage inhibition of kinase activity calculated for each inhibitor tested. Positive (kinase only) and negative (no kinase) controls were added to each plate to ensure specific interaction of kinase and inhibitor. The IC₅₀ concentration for each inhibitor was calculated by plotting the percentage kinase inhibition against concentration of inhibitor and the curve generated by non-linear regression fitting.

Test compounds were formulated in DMSO and diluted in foetal calf serum supplemented medium. Incubating medium was removed by aspiration and diluted drug supplemented medium added to each well.

The plate was returned to the incubator for an additional eight hours at 37° C. and an atmosphere of 5% CO₂. Post incubation, the drug supplemented medium was aspirated from each well and the cells were washed once in ice-cold phosphate buffered saline (PBS). 100 μL of cell lysis buffer (Cell Signalling Technologies #9803) containing 20 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 1 mM EDTA, 1 mM EGTA, 1% Triton-X100, 2.5 mM sodium pyrophosphate, 1 mM glycerophosphate, 1 mM Na₃VO₄ and 1 μg/mL leupeptin was added to each well of the 96 well plate and incubated at 4° C. for 30 min. The samples on the plate were snap frozen at −80° C. until required. Immediately before the continuation of the assay, the sample plate was thawed and centrifuged at 4° C. for 10 min and the supernatant transferred to secondary tubes or 96 well plate.

Cell supernatant was mixed in a ratio of 1:1 with sample dilutent buffer and vortexed for one minute. 100 μL of diluted sample was pipetted into pre-coated plates containing a rabbit polyclonal antibody for phospho-cdc2 (Tyr15) (Cell Signalling Technologies PathScan kit #7176). The plate was sealed and incubated overnight at 4° C.

The plate seal was removed and the well contents aspirated, followed by 3×5 min washes with 200 μL of diluted wash buffer. Between each wash the plate was tapped firmly onto blotting paper to ensure the removal of all kit solution. 100 μL of kit detection antibody was added to each well and the plate re-sealed and incubated at 37° C. for 1 h. Post incubation the plate was washed and processed in a similar manner to that previously described.

100 μL of horseradish peroxidise-linked secondary antibody was added to each test well, the plate sealed and incubated for thirty minutes at 37° C. Post incubation, the plate was washed as previously stated, followed by the addition of 100 μL of 3,3′,5,5′ tetramethylbenzidine (TMB reagent). The plate was sealed and incubated at RT for 30 min.

100 μL of stop solution was added to each well and the underside of the plate wiped with a lint-free tissue, prior to spectrophotometric determination. Absorbance from each well was read at 450 nm within 30 min of the addition of the stop solution.

The percentage of phospho-cdc2 was calculated compared to DMSO control and plotted versus the concentration of inhibitor using GraphPad Prism. Data was fitted using non-linear regression analysis and IC₅₀ values generated.

Method 3: Determining the Effect of Compounds on the Cdc2 phosphorylation at Tyr15, using a Cell-Based ELISA Base Kit (R&D Systems, KCB001)

The colorectal cancer cell line, HT-29 was purchased from the ATCC and maintained in McCoy's 5 A medium (Gibco®, Life technologies) supplemented with 10% Foetal Calf Serum (FCS).

The cells were trypsinised and counted, 100 μL of 8000 cells was seeded into each well of a clear-bottom black 96-well microplate and incubated overnight to allow adherence to the surface, at 37° C. and 5% CO₂ in a cell culture incubator.

Test compounds were formulated in DMSO and diluted in cell culture medium supplemented with FCS. Grow medium was removed from cells and medium containing compounds dilutions was added to each well. The plate was returned to the incubator for an additional eight hours of incubation at 37° C. and 5% CO₂.

Post incubation cells were fixed by replacing the compounds supplemented medium with 100 μL of 4% formaldehyde in 1× phosphate buffered saline (PBS), for 20 minutes at room temperature. Formaldehyde solution was removed and cells were washed three times with PBS. The Cell-Based ELISA assay (R&D Systems) was carried out immediately after cell fixation or the plate was sealed and fixed cells were stored in PBS at 4° C. until required (no more than two weeks).

To continue the assay, PBS was removed and cells were washed 3 times for 5 minutes with 200 μL of 1× wash buffer. Each wash step was carried out with gentle shaking. Following washes, 100 μL of 0.6% H2O2 in 1× wash buffer (quenching buffer) was added, plate was sealed and incubated for 20 minutes at room temperature. Post incubation cells were washes 3 times for 5 minutes with 200 μL of 1× wash buffer, with gentle shaking. 100 μL of blocking buffer was added to each well, the plate was re-sealed and incubated at room temperature for 1 h.

After blocking, cells were washed as described above. A primary antibody mixture was prepared by mixing the two primary antibodies, a rabbit monoclonal antibody for phospho-cdc2 (Tyr15) (Cell Signaling, #4539) and mouse monoclonal antibody for total cdc2 p34 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, sc-54), diluted 1:25 and 1:50 in blocking buffer, respectively. 60 μL of primary antibody mixture was added to each well, the plate was sealed and incubated overnight at 4° C.

The primary antibodies were removed and cells were washed as previously described. 100 μL of secondary antibody mixture, containing horseradish-peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG and alkaline phosphatase (AP)-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG, diluted 1:100 in blocking buffer, was added to each test well. The plate was re-sealed and incubated for 2 hours at room temperature.

The secondary antibodies were removed and cells washed 2 times with wash buffer, followed by 2 washes with PBS. Each wash step was carried out for 5 minutes with gentle shaking. PBS was removed and 75 μL of fluorogenic substrate for HRP (substrate F1) added to each well. The plate was sealed and incubated for 1 h at room temperature, in the dark. 75 μL of fluorogenic substrate for AP (substrate F2) was added directly to each well, plate re-sealed and incubated for additional 40 minutes at room temperature, protected from direct light.

Following incubation fluorescence from each well was read at 600 nm (signal from substrate 1, phosphorylated protein) and then at 450 nm (signal from substrate 2, total protein).

The percentage of phospho-cdc2 was calculated compared to DMSO control, normalized to the total cdc2 and plotted versus the concentration of inhibitor, using GraphPad Prism. Data was fitted using a non-linear regression analysis and EC50 values generated.

A Waters BEH C18 2.1×50 mm 1.7 μm column was used and mobile phases were water and methanol containing 0.1% formic acid as modifier. Analysis was by multiple reaction monitoring and conditions were optimised for each test compound.

Data Analyses:

From a plot of 1n peak area against time, the gradient of the line is determined. Subsequently, half-life and intrinsic clearance are calculated using the following equations.

$\mathrm{Eliminated}\mathrm{rate}\mathrm{constant}\left(k\right)=\left(-\mathrm{gradient}\right)$ $\mathrm{Half}\mathrm{life}\left(t_{1/2}\right)\left(\min \right)=\frac{0.693}{k}$ $\mathrm{Intrinsic}\mathrm{Clearance}\left({\mathrm{CL}}_{\mathrm{int}}\right)\left(\mu L\text{/}\min /\mathrm{million}\mathrm{cells}\right)=\frac{V\times 0.693}{t_{1/2}}$
